Music , at least in my ears(and ๐ too) has gotten me out of a lot of scary and dark times.
Not many people have heard of the genre called, "Yacht Rock". Some AWESOME old school 70's and 80's dose of cheesy goodness, but this always lifts my spirits as to how daggy these songs actually are

Hi I just signed up. I have anxiety and depression and Iโm a highly sensitive person and Iโm struggling with the very recent loss of my fur baby, he was the only family I had and now Iโm feeling so alone without him. Just wanted to try this out as I donโt have anyone I can talk to who isnโt going to judge me.

Hello @SoftGlimmer, welcome!! You have come to a wonderful community of likeminded people who understand what it's like to experience anxiety, depression, and sensitivity, all of which make you wonderfully human.
I am so sorry to hear about the recent loss of your fur baby, I can't imagine how painful this has been for you. Losing a family member is no small thing... I am curious to know what supports you have right now?
Please know we are here for you and I am certain many people will be able to relate to your story.
When you are ready, please don't hesitate to start a new thread of your own, dedicated to all things @SoftGlimmer. ๐

Welcome to Forumland @SoftGlimmer ๐๐ผ Sorry for your loss (sad face).
Everyone except for me has fur-babies.
@MissGremlin can you remember who has dogs, cats or both?

Hello @SoftGlimmer and welcome to the forums. I'm so sorry for the loss of your furbaby, I know the pain all too well as I lost 4 of my babies in a 5 year period. I'm always happy to chat if you would like to. You're not alone here and the community is always compassionate and understanding. Sending you some hugs if you'd like them โค๏ธ.
@Glisten i do know of many with furbabies. I'll tag a few here @NightFury @AlwaysMyself @Captain24 @Chasingsunsets @ENKELI @Jynx

Hi @SoftGlimmer , welcome and sorry to hear about the recent loss of your furbabies.
As @MissGremlin said (and thabk you for tag ๐), i am very much a lover of all animals and hvae 2 dogs of my own who i would be devestated if anything happened to them. They are close family to me.
I don't know much about processing grief and loss; but i have heard that for some people talking about memories and cherishing can help. Know that i am always interested to listen and discuss memories of furbabies (and humans), and also very open to learning more about how processing the grief works best for you and what that support looks like for you as an individual ๐.
I guess I can be a pretty sensitive person too (high empathy and need for connection), balanced with a fairly healthy dose of rational thinking and perspective-taking too though which helps me in difficult emotional times unless it goes "too far" ๐คญ.
I am sometimes very active on the forums, and other times (lately) been less able ti get on regularly. So please know if i don't respond it is only a reflection of my current capacity at the time and never on the people here. ๐ฅฐ

Hello,
Iโm in my 30s and have been suffering from chronic health conditions that have now left me bed bound. I live in an isolated part of Western Australia where health care is very limited. Since I couldnโt travel to socialise in person over the years my friends abandoned me. Last year my health got even worse which started causing some anxiety and I started feeling very lonely. My mum is my career and the only person I have left in my life. The only other people I speak to are medical staff. Iโve come here looking for some human interaction, I hope I can also help encourage others.
